The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"Huntress' best feature is the threat-hunting expertise that is part of their 24/7 SOC."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."

"We have seen a decrease of approximately ninety percent in the number of events."

"The technical support services are good."
"This solution helps us by providing central management of anti-malware and anti-exploit functionality."
"Being able to cloud manage it from just a cloud login is valuable. We can get to it from anywhere, which is really helpful. The fact that we can remediate from the cloud console is one of our favorite features."
"Malwarebytes is a comprehensive solution for keeping endpoints safe and secure from intruders, viruses, malware and so on."
"The solution is very good at scanning."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that I can use it wherever I want, be it at the office, at home, or even outside."

"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"Detections could be improved."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more intuitive dashboards."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"Some of Huntress' reporting could be improved."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"I'd like Huntress to implement a component that can analyze network traffic for specific sites."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"The reporting is not as flexible as you would find with other antivirus software."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"If they want to compete with bigger players, they should consider adding items like threat detection and website warnings."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"Every once in a while, it gets clobbered by updates from other places. I don't think this should happen."
"Notifications are lacking."
